abstract

The act of looking implies an intention. In opposition to the perceptual process of seeing, which can be neutral or indifferent, looking is an event-generating action, in the inaugural sense that Alain Badiou gives to the term. Literature and the arts can contribute to document our affective norms and emotional imperatives, and –what is even more suggestive– they can deconstruct or deauthorize them.
